Well, issue two is out. Time to start identifying the references.1) Questions were raised earlier about why Mycroft but not Sherlockappeared in this comic. I believe these are probably answered in thisissue. Mycroft still believes his brother is dead at Reichenbach Falls.I don't remember how long he was "gone" in the original stories but Isuspect that he will be showing up in future issues (and I very muchdoubt that he will appreciate the "gentlemen" that his brother isemploying).2) I have no idea what Miss Coote's School in Edmonton and the reverendSeptimus Harding are about. I do, however, love the design of theschool. Does this come from "Candide" or one of the other "racier"novels of the turn of century or before.3) Mann, Crossman, & Paulin Wine and Spirits is probably a "Dracula"reference but I haven't read that book thoroughly.4) Prospe*** of Whiteb*** - Anyone care to guess?5) Going back to Miss Coote - There is reference to her predecessor,Miss Flaybum. Given this word-play I suspect that the correctpronunciation of Coote is "koo-tee" (i.e., lice).6) Olive Chancellor of America???7) Miss Carr/School of Pain???8) Miss Rebecca "Becky" Randall of Riverboro, Maine???9) Pollyanna (as in "she's such a Pollyanna") - I know the saying but Ican't say where it comes from.10) Lord and Lady Pokingham???11) The skeletal sculpture in the British Museum that Quatermain isexamining. I know this is from "She" by Haggard. Was Quatermain involvedin this or not? I can't remember.12) I don't remember an albino from the "Invisible Man". Is this areference to another story?13) Since the Yahoo skull is scientifically named "Homo gulliverus" Ialso assume that the considerably larger skull beside it also comes from"Gulliver's Travels".14) The interrogator Donovan???15) Marker ?? ?? Arne Sak??? - It is hard to tell (or remember) butisn't this one of the markers left behind to mark the correct path tothe center of the earth in the Verne classic?16) I am at a loss to explain the ichthyosaur specimen. I would, rather,have expected the pteradactyl from "Lost World".17) Captain Mors??? I was rather expecting Captain Robor.18) The Montagu House Picture18a) Montagu House??? What, no Capulets?18b) L. Gulliver - Gulliver of "Gulliver's Travels"? I'd suggest theGulliver of "Gulliver on Mars" but this man looks far to old for that.18c) Mr. & Mrs. P. Blakeny - The Scarlet Pimpernel and Wife.18d) The reverend Dr. Syn - From the "Sacrecrow of Romney Marsh". I'mactually kind of surprised at this one as I'm pretty sure that the Dr.Syn stories are not public domain. Still, I like the depiction.18e) Mistress Hill???18f) Ned Buntline - the writer and star of numerous western dime novels(Beadle's, I believe).19) Lady Ragnall???20) Randoph Carter - H. P. Lovecraft's protagonist from the publicdomain "Statement of Randolph Carter" and the not-so-public domain"Dream-Quest for Unknown Kadath".21) Unnamed Virginian - John Carter of the Barsoom books. I had not madethe Carter connection here - congratulations Mr. Moore.Any help on completing or adding to this list will be appreciated.Geoffrey Tolle
